(NaturalNews) In working to protect the business interests of vaccine manufactures, both the FDA and FTC have declared all-out war against any products that might offer consumers options other than vaccines. This week, that war against natural remedies reached the shores of Dr. Andrew Weil, who is perhaps the best-known alternative medicine doctor in America. In an intimidating, threatening letter jointly issued by the FTC and the FDA, these rogue government agencies threatened Dr. Weil with criminal prosecution for making true statements about his immune-boosting formula such as, “Astragalus … is … used traditionally to ward off colds and flu, and has demonstrated both antiviral and immune-boosting effects in scientific investigation.”
This statement, although scientifically valid and true, is a threat to the profits of the vaccine industry, and so Dr. Weil’s company is being targeted by the FTC / FDA vaccine racket tag-team for termination.
You can review the FTC threats against Dr. Weil on the FTC’s own website: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/Enforcemen…
Some of the threats leveled against Dr. Weil by the FTC include:
- Forcing Dr. Weil’s company to refund ALL customers who purchased his immune support formula. (For no apparent reason other than to burden his company with such costs.)
- Subjecting Dr. Weil’s company with “legal action in the form of a Federal District Court injunction or Administrative Order.”
- Gunpoint seizure of ALL of Dr. Weil’s nutritional products: “If your firm fails to take corrective action immediately, FDA may take enforcement action, such as seizure or injunction for violations of the FFDC Act without further notice.”
- Subjecting Dr. Weil and his company to criminal prosecution: “Firms that fail to take corrective action may also be referred to FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations for possible criminal prosecution for violations of the FFDC Act and other federal laws.”
- Adding Dr. Weil’s company to a list of companies that have been found in “violation” of the FFDC Act.
These threats are signed by the top fearmongers running the censorship racket at both the FTC and FDA:
Mary K. Engle
Associate Director, Division of Advertising Practices
Federal Trade Commission
Roberta F. Wagner
Director, Office of Compliance
Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition
Food and Drug Administration
Do you now see what a criminal racket the vaccine industry is running in America by invoking these tactics of tyranny? This is the kind of thing you might expect to see in China, where government officials arrest Falun Gong members who attempt to meditate in public, but you wouldn’t think that in the United States of America — “Land of the Free” — you’d be threatened with arrest and financial ruin for simply telling the truth about a powerful herb with scientifically-validated medicinal properties.
The FTC’s dangerous double standard
This FTC / FDA letter claims Dr. Weil has been promoting his immune-boosting formula “…without rigorous scientific evidence sufficient to substantiate the claims.”
This might be taken with some level of seriousness if, in fact, the vaccine makers had any such evidence to substantiate their own claims that flu vaccines work at all. But as NaturalNews readers have already learned, flu vaccines are a scientific hoax lacking any honest evidence that they actually work. In fact, all the evidence points to the reality that they don’t work. (http://www.naturalnews.com/027239_v…)
The FTC, you see, applies a completely different standard of proof against dietary supplements than to vaccines. According to FTC staff, “…the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. SS 41 et seq., requires that claims that a dietary supplement can prevent, treat, or cure human infection with the H1N1 virus, must be supported by well-controlled human clinical studies at the time the claims are made.”
And yet, at the same time, there are no well-controlled human clinical studies backing the efficacy of vaccines. They simply don’t exist.
Thus, vaccines can be approved based on wishful thinking while dietary supplements must be subjected to “rigorous scientific study.”
Enslaved by the medical regime
How is that fair? It isn’t. The game is rigged from the start to allow drugs and vaccines to be sold based on the flimsiest of evidence while natural remedies are routinely suppressed by holding them to an impossible standard.
This is similar to the way in which blacks were prevented from voting in America throughout the 20th century. The people who controlled the voting booths would issue “IQ tests” to anyone who tried to vote. The tests were rigged to fail all blacks while allowing whites to easily pass (and therefore vote).
The whole system was rigged from the start to create the illusion of fairness even though the outcome had already been pre-decided. This same brand of racism is now operating in modern medicine, except it’s drugism instead of racism. But the outcome has already been decided by the FDA just the same: All natural products will be denied, while all vaccines will be approved. This is how the system is rigged.
Just so you understand how ludicrous this is, what the FTC / FDA tag-team is saying is that herbs, superfoods and other natural substances that are naturally biocompatible with your body are, in essence, guilty until proven innocent. Meanwhile vaccines made in a lab with synthetic chemicals, mercury derivatives and DNA fragments from diseased animals are considered safe and effective by default, even in the absence of any real science. Do you see how twisted and dangerous this whole system has become?
Censoring true statements to silence natural health proponents
Both the FTC and FDA have a long history of using tactics of extreme intimidation in an attempt to censor people who provide natural remedies that compete with sales of pharmaceuticals. When a doctor can’t even make a true scientific statement about the medicinal properties of an herb without being threatened by the FTC, it’s a sure sign that what was supposed to be a regulatory agency has now become a criminal racket serving the interests of Big Pharma.
Here’s one statement the FTC / FDA letter “accuses” Dr. Weil of making: “Astragalus … is … used traditionally to ward off colds and flu, and has demonstrated both antiviral and immune-boosting effects in scientific investigation.”
Is there anything false in that statement? Anything misleading? Not in the least. It’s a statement backed by reality. Astragalus does, indeed, have powerful antiviral and immune-boosting properties. It works better than vaccines, in fact, at protecting people from the flu. See a long list of supporting statements from experts on this very topic right here: (http://www.naturalnews.com/027302_a…)
And yet for daring to make this simple, true statement on the internet, Dr. Weil has been threatened by the FTC with criminal prosecution. Our own U.S. government has threatened to arrest him, destroy his business, criminally prosecute him, confiscate his products, financially ruin his company and add him to a list of “violators.” That sounds more like Nazi Germany than America, doesn’t it? Yet it’s happening in America right now.
What other “crimes” has Dr. Weil committed? He dared to make a second true statement about astragalus:
“The synergistic combination of immune modulators [found in the Immune Support Formula] is especially useful for those who tend to get every bug that goes around during the winter.”
Once again, another true statement. It’s like saying “vitamin C boosts immune function,” or “vitamin D helps prevent cancer.” Both are true statements, but both have been outlawed in America by the FTC racket. The truth, simply put, has been outlawed in America (and in Europe, too, for the most part. This censorship of natural remedies is global…)……….MORE HERE

This year it is more important that you protect your children and loved ones from the flu vaccines than influenza itself. In his article published on LewRockwell.com, Bill Sardi details 18 reasons why you should not vaccinate your children against the flu this season. Here are nine of them:
- The swine flu is simply another flu. It is not unusually deadly.
- This is the first time both seasonal and pandemic flu vaccines will be administered. Both seasonal flu and swine flu vaccines will require two inoculations. This is because single inoculations have failed to produce sufficient antibodies. This is an admission that prior flu vaccines were virtually useless. Can you trust them this time?
- Adjuvants are added to vaccines to boost production of antibodies but may trigger autoimmune reactions. Some adjuvants are mercury (thimerosal), aluminum and squalene. Why would you sign a consent form for your children to be injected with mercury, which is even more brain-toxic than lead?
- This is the first year mock vaccines have been used to gain FDA approval. The vaccines that have been tested are not the same vaccines your children will be given.
- Over-vaccination is a common practice now in America. American children are subjected to 29 vaccines by the age of two. Meanwhile, veterinarians have backed off of repeat vaccination in dogs because of observed side effects.
- Modern medicine has no explanation for autism, despite its continued rise in prevalence. Yet autism is not reported among Amish children who go unvaccinated.
- Researchers are warning that over-use of the flu vaccine and anti-flu drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can apply genetic pressure on flu viruses and then they are more likely to mutate into a more deadly strain.
- Most seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus strains tested from the United States and other countries are now resistant to Tamiflu (oseltamivir). Tamiflu has become a nearly worthless drug against seasonal flu.
- Public health officials are irresponsible in their omission of any ways to strengthen immunity against the flu. No options outside of problematic vaccines and anti-flu drugs are offered, despite the fact there is strong evidence that vitamins C and D activate the immune system and the trace mineral selenium prevents the worst form of the disease.

(NaturalNews) One of the key researchers involved in the clinical trials for both Gardasil and Cevarix cervical cancer vaccines has gone public with warnings about their safety and effectiveness. This highly unusual warning against these vaccines by one of Big Pharma’s own researchers surfaced in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express in the UK over the last few days. There, Dr. Diane Harper openly admitted the vaccine doesn’t even prevent cervical cancer, stating, “[The vaccine] will not decrease cervical cancer rates at all.”
This is astonishing news. The whole push behind the cervical cancer vaccines is based on the belief that they prevent cervical cancer. That belief, it turns out, is a myth…..MORE HERE
(NaturalNews) Natalie Morton is dead. One week ago, she was an energetic and lively 14-year-old student who was just following doctor’s orders. Like all her other classmates, she believed she was dutifully protecting her health by submitting to a cervical cancer vaccine jab. But a few minutes after receiving her vaccine shot, things began to go wrong.
As one of her classmates said in a report published in the Daily Mail:
“About an hour after having the jab Natalie went really pale and wasn’t breathing. I think it was around lunchtime. She fainted in the corridor. I saw ambulance men pumping her chest then the teachers told us to go outside. A lot of people were crying afterwards and we were all very worried.”
Not surprisingly, some of Natalie’s classmates are now concerned about the safety of the vaccine:
“We have to have three of the jabs in all and a lot of us don’t want to take the rest, but they’re telling us we have to because there will be side effects if we don’t have them all.”
Did you catch that? Even after killing one of their classmates, medical doctors are still lying to these girls, telling them that if they don’t continue with all three vaccines, they will have more side effects. This, of course, is an outright lie. But it’s par for the course when it comes to vaccines………MORE HERE

ANH eBlast: Positive news inspite of Big Food & Pharma efforts
It’s very easy to look at the current situation facing those of us desirous of living more harmoniously with nature using natural healthcare, and feel daunted or demoralised by the sheer magnitude of what appears to be ‘against’ us. It’s easy to get diverted by what seems to be a corporate and regulatory stranglehold on our food supply, natural medicines and traditional medicinal cultures and forget that at times of great change the going gets incredibly tough before it becomes immeasurably transformed. We’re often asked how we manage to keep so positive and buoyant doing what we do year in and year out. And how we keep from feeling like we’re fighting a losing battle and burning out.
Apart from the fact that we don’t feel that military terminology is particularly appropriate to describe what we do, we see this as a crucial time for choice and decision-making. When faced with an array of foods from different cultures on a banquet table, no matter how hard the hostess tries to persuade you to try those exotic delicacies, there’s always going to be some or many things you just don’t like. But you don’t feel any fear or anger or the need to fight the hostess—you just make different choices. It’s the same choice-making process when it comes to our experiences. You may feel this is an overly simplistic way of approaching something so fundamental as our human rights and freedom of healthcare choice, but it isn’t intended to be.
In creating anything new it’s important to know what you don’t want so that you can decide what you do want. Faced with what we’re currently up against from Big Pharma, Big Food and the biotech industry, it’s so important to choose what we do want and keep our focus set on supporting the paradigm shift in healthcare, rather than expending energy in fear, buried deep in conspiracy thinking.
Unless you have detectable and measurable evidence that your campaigning activities are influencing policy at governmental levels it goes without saying that a paradigm shift in healthcare will not occur. This is particularly the case with the laws governing medicine and our healthcare system given that these laws—the very ones that are infringing our access to natural health products in so many parts of the world—uniquely have supremacy over all other laws!
So in short what we’re proposing is that a coordinated change in both your thinking and your choices, made within a fear-free context are the simplest and potentially most powerful ingredients for change. The ANH, which includes the thousands of supporters we have around the world are, we believe, an instrumental component to this paradigm shift. And it’s being part of this movement for change that is so fulfilling, motivating and above all positive—it’s what keeps us far from burning out and loving what we do!

Dirty Dancing – Synopsis
It’s summer, 1963. Frances, seventeen and innocent, is on holiday with her parents in the Catskills. She meets Johnny–the hotel dance instructor–and is mesmerised by him and his dance style. She soon becomes Johnny’s prize pupil, in dance and in love.
Twenty years ago (was it really that long?) this film came out to audiences that really went for it! This made it a totally unexpected hit and propelled Swayze to stardom and recognition. Not sure it did the same for the co-stars in general, but I guess they did ok – no doubt we might hear otherwise?
Compare the fit and very good looking guy in that movie to the older man who was ravaged by cancer of the pancreas. See the link here from yesterday.

Toxic Ingredients
“The glossy images we’re fed by the media hide a dangerous secret: Most of our toiletries, even the ‘natural variety’, are made from the same harsh chemicals used for industry.”
Good Health Naturally
Before reading this, I suspect you will think “Ah they’re just trying to frighten us and sell more product” NOT true. While, yes, we are running a business it is also important to us to let people know what is out there and then THEY can make up their own minds from an informed point of view.. There is SO much information out there, but we’re all bombarded by adverts and celebrities endorsing products, that a type of mindset steps in – “Well, if it’s not on telly, must be rubbish or a scam”. This was said to me not that long ago!!
A couple of testimonials are here and I urge you to have a look as another way to see what power these products have
The Details:
Despite the fact the Department of Health in the UK and the FDA in the USA, have issued warnings in the past, serious concerns remain about the long–term safety of the known toxic chemicals in personal care toiletries we all use.
“What could be more healthy than a refreshing body wash, a nourishing shampoo, a minty fresh toothpaste and a moisturizing facial cream? Commercials, magazine advertisements and billboards bombard us with the message that soaping and scrubbing, exfoliating and moisturizing are only beneficial to our health.”
“The glossy images of well scrubbed individuals hide a dangerous secret!”
“Too many of the toiletries and cosmetics we use are hazardous carcinogenic cocktails of synthetic chemicals. Most of the chemicals which go into our toiletries are no different from the harsh toxic chemicals used in industry.”
“Far from enhancing health they pose a daily threat to it!”
What Doctors Don’t Tell You (New Window and search for chemicals)
“Some of the most dangerous chemicals we put on our bodies in the name of beauty belong to a family of hormone–disrupting chemicals, which are water soluble ammonia derivatives.”
What Doctors Don’t Tell You (New Window and search for chemicals!)
Could this be the next “tobacco scandal”?
Do we need to wait 30 or 40 or even 50 years to find the truth?
Informed people make informed decisions! Before you continue using chemical substances that may cause long term multiple chemical sensitivity, damage your health and the health of your loved ones, or even cause cancer, you must find out the facts about common chemical ingredients and their toxicity for yourself!
Look at the tobacco industry…..how long did they deny that smoking caused cancer?
YOUR HEALTH… YOUR DECISION!
Toxic Body – This first-person account from National Geographic details the reporter David Ewing Duncan’s quest to identify the chemicals his body has absorbed over his lifetime.
Just one example – Sodium Laurel Sulphate
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate
This inexpensive detergent is commonly used in cosmetic cleansers, hair
shampoos, bath and shower gels, bubble baths, etc. – It is probably one of the most dangerous ingredient used in skin and hair–care products. In the cleaning industry SLS is used in garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers, car–wash soaps, etc. It is very corrosive and readily attacks greasy surfaces.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is used throughout the world for clinical testing as
a primary skin irritant. Laboratories use it to irritate skin on test
animals and humans so that they may then test healing agents to see how effective they are on the irritated skin.
A study at the University of Georgia Medical College, indicated that SLS
penetrated into the eyes as well as brain, heart, liver, etc., and showed
long–term retention in the tissues. The study also indicated that SLS
penetrated young children’s eyes and prevented them from developing
properly and caused cataracts to develop in adults.
May cause hair loss by attacking the follicle. Classified as a drug in bubble baths because it eats away skin protection and causes rashes and infection to occur.
Is potentially harmful to skin and hair. Cleans by corrosion. Dries skin
by stripping the protective lipids from the surface so it can’t effectively
regulate moisture.
Another extremely serious problem is the connection of SLS with nitrate
contamination. SLS reacts with many types of ingredients used in skin
products and forms nitrosomines (nitrates). Nitrates are potential
cancer-causing carcinogenics.
Because of the alarming penetrating power of SLS, large amounts of these
known carcinogens are absorbed through the skin into the body. A variation of SLS is SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate – SLES). It exhibits many of the same characteristics and is a higher–foaming variation of SLS.
Sun block: Gender–bending chemicals that mimic oestrogen are common in sunscreens New Scientist
Good Health Naturally
Gender–bending chemicals that mimic the effect of oestrogen are common in sunscreens, warns a team of Swiss researchers who have found that they trigger developmental abnormalities in rats. “We need to do more tests to see how they might be affecting people,” says Margaret Schlumpf from the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Researchers know that chemicals which behave like oestrogen can cause health problems. They can have a dramatic effect on animals, for example turning fish into hermaphrodites. Some researchers claim that hormonally active chemicals from the urine of women taking the birth control pill are already swamping the environment, and may be causing a decline in sperm counts.
- Uterine growth
- Schlumpf and her colleagues tested six common UV screening chemicals used in sunscreens, lipsticks and other cosmetics. All five UVB screens – benzophenone–3, homosalate, 4-methyl–benzylidene camphor (4–MBC), octyl–methoxycinnamate and octyl–dimethyl–PABA – behaved like oestrogen in lab tests, making cancer cells grow more rapidly. Three caused developmental effects in animals. Only one chemical – a UVA protector called butyl–methoxydibenzoylmethane (B–MDM) – showed no activity. One of the most common sunscreen chemicals, 4–MBC, had a particularly strong effect. When the team mixed it with olive oil and applied it to rat skin, it doubled the rate of uterine growth well before puberty. “That was scary, because we used concentrations that are in the range allowed in sunscreens,” Schlumpf says. Nobody knows if doses are high enough to create problems for people, says Schlumpf.
- Low levels
- “Evidence that they’re a real health concern is still lacking,” says Richard Sharpe from the Medical Research Council’s Reproductive Biology Unit in Edinburgh. But he adds, “It’s not good news that we are lathering ourselves with creams with hormonal activity.” The Cosmetic Toiletry & Perfumery Association, which represents sunscreen manufacturers in Britain, replies that the levels found by Schlumpf are well below anything that would cause an effect after a single application. A study by the association, not yet published, shows no effect from these chemicals in rats. But, it adds, “If levels are increasing [in the environment] then we’re aware something would have to be done soon.”
- Breast milk
- That day may be here since 4–MBC and other sunscreen chemicals have been shown to accumulate in fish from lakes where people swim. More worryingly, they have been found in breast milk at levels of nanograms per kilogram of fat – about the same as other known environmental contaminants. Schlumpf worries that the large amount of sunscreen used by bathers, especially children, could dramatically increase this exposure. Schlumpf says the other 25 or so chemicals used in sunscreens should also be tested for hormonal activity, and she will be looking more closely at 4–MBC to see if the offspring of exposed rats develop health problems.
For the moment, she isn’t advising people to ditch sunscreens completely, but suggests that sun blocks like zinc oxide might make a healthier alternative.
